Today's Poll: Should the U.S. send in ground troops to help fight ISIS?

No ground troops without B-52's. The kids ought to be mopping up after carpet bombing not going door to door and trying to sort out the good guys and the bad guys. How about we give them a winnable mission for once?

Stay out. But if you go, Mathew is right. You go, you go to win. No politically correctness. No needing to get permission from a lawyer before you shoot. Massive air power and artillery.

Perfectly said! NO POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS! No ground troops, no warnings. Relentless air strikes. This will make other future "groups" think twice.

We (the USA) need to stay as far away from this as we possibly can. It is a religious war being fouhgt by differing factions of Islam, in which we have no place. All we can accomplish is give all the various players in this sadistic, medieval holy war is give them all a common enemy. Us. Our young men and women. They need to solve this themselves. If Iran or ISIS or the Taliban or the Saudis or whoever want to kill each other, that's bad, but a hell of alot better than killing our people. The mideast is a quagmire and by now we ought to be fully aware of that, but I guess not. War is not the answer, only love can conquer hate. Marvin Gaye wrote this in 1971, have we learned nothing as a nation?

No No and No.......... may the yes voters be the first in line for your invasion....

Hey Dave, you know that facts and common sense get you nowhere here. I made a comment, albeit badly worded, and it wasn't greeted with open arms until I reworded it. Once I said I was tired of paying to arm the rest of the world while our government tries to disarm us, it was then a favorable comment. I want our troops out of the mideast, period. The older I get, the more I realize that the U.S. is an aggressor nation trying to cloak that aggression with the BS of spreading democracy. I support our troops, and I support the ideals that drive them to enlist, but I despise our government for using our youthful soldiers as disposable political tools. Our troops get crapped on, and yet people seem so willing to just send them off to their next destination of unwarranted deaths. No..stay out of Syria, get our troops out of the mideast, and take care of the soldiers that have returned home only to be neglected and tossed to the curb.

Word. :>) I don't usually pay much attention to the thumbs up or down thingies, but I got 2 negatives for saying War is not the answer and we should stay out of it.

Absolutely. Howard, I know you were once a police officer and I've heard it said that cops hate getting called into the middle of domestic problems. This whole thing is the international equivalent of a domestic fight.

Nope, that was a new one for me. Thanks for sharing
